editVandalism? you are just changing things to how you want them to appear
how so?
editI posted what is fact and you are changing it in an attempt to bend opinions. That is vandalism
...
edityes previous was me, but he has admitted he is gay and I was linking that to being more liberal as all polls have shown, and he has admitted he is liberal and democrat.
Star Wars date userbox
editI thought you might be interested that I made a Star Wars date userbox (on my userspace), using the new m:ParserFunctions. It displays the equivalent Star Wars date based on Earth's date:
Today is 12 Welona 2024. |
How do you like it? I'm thinking of changing the image + colors of the background. -Xol 23:26, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- That is the awesomeness. Can I make it so that the person inserting the box can specify the color? I'll do it by putting in {{{1}}} and stuff. MoppEr Speak! 23:28, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sure, of course :). Do whatever you like with it. -Xol 23:31, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Today is 12 Welona 2024. |
Here's a prototype. I made it in your place; if you don't like it, feel free to revert. MoppEr Speak! 23:31, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- Looks great. I might add some default colors and use User:Xolatron/userbox because that won't mess with the {{{1}}} parameters from {{Userbox}} itself. -Xol 23:35, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
My Signature
editSome wikipedians have requested that I change my sig because it's too long. please vote on whether I should change my sig or not. Thanks, --GeorgeMoneyTalk Contribs 03:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you!
editHello, Master of Puppets/Talk/Archive/Archive10, and thank you for vote on my recent RfA! With a final vote of 62/2/4, I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. As I acclimate myself to my new tools, feel free to let me know how you believe I might be able to use them to help the project. Thanks again! RadioKirk talk to me 05:15, 6 May 2006 (UTC) |
Your vandalism box
editWhy do you have the formatting of the box in your vandalsm space. Why not just make a template that people can vandalise and include it into the box. An example can be found at User:Master of Puppets/User/Sigbox/Temp. If you click the "vandalise" link, it will go to a seperate page which can be found at User:Master of Puppets/User/Sigbox/Temp/Sigs. Then, that page will go into the vandalism box as a template. --GeorgeMoneyTalk Contribs 05:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey; I signed your sig/vandalism box. Like my new sig?... Well, it isn't really so much the sig that's new, but... If you'd like, I can give you the code to make it subst out rather than change each day - because that's not very uesful for a time stamp. I also decided to add the last part, just so no one asks me to change/remove the whole thing. – Xol 19:46, 5 Telona 2006 (6 May)
- Just put {{<includeonly>SUBST:</includeonly>CURRENTDAY}} in your sig template. --GeorgeMoneyTalk Contribs 20:28, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Similarty of Designs
editI'll see what I can do. Most, if not, ALL of the editing on my page was done User:IAMTHEGGMAN as part of Trading Spaces on Esperanza. He uses your design as well, and it looks great. Love your username, as well. I'll see you around. Sean (talk || contribs| esperanza)) 21:15, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
quick question if you have time
editThought I might pick your brain for a minute. What is the Wiki-protocol when dealing with an editor likethis guy? He has been flying under my "vandal radar" for a little while. His edits aren't really vandalism but he's done enough to garner a few warnings and wrist slaps. He's what I would call a "serial wiki-linker".(also into changing image sizes and removing tags) The wiki-linking is very random...usually selecting oddball words that don't require linking at all. The _target articles seem to repeat(if he can get away with it without getting nabbed) Just wondering what the deal is when it comes to this kind of, albeit, subtle editing quirk. Take Care! Anger22 01:13, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick response. Like I said...under the radar. The only reason it caught my attention tonight was when he linked a word near the end of an article even though the same word was used no less than 10 times prior to the word he chose to link. Your level of assume good faith is much higher than mine. To me it certainly doesn't stink...but it does have a bit of an odour all the same. I don't hound or hawk anyone. It's innocent enough to ignore. Take Care and thanks again! Anger22 01:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
A shiny new barnstar!
editThe Barnstar of Diligence | ||
This is a special shared barnstar between ILovePlankton, JoanneB, Mopper & Where. This barnstar is awarded for helping me out over the past few days with wording things more politely and civilly when I'm prone to just typing what I'm thinking (which isn't always the best thing - that internal censor thing needs new batteries). Thank you for putting up with my crap now and in the future. :P The four of you are really exceptional Esperanzians (and Wikipedians). — nathanrdotcom (Got something to say? Say it.) 05:04, 7 May 2006 (UTC) |
Unlucky
editHey MoP, comisserations on your RfA, it's a real shame. I would renominate you but it's probably too soon. I wish I could work out Wikimedia commons, I was going to give you an animated laurel, but couldn't work it out. Sorry, and better luck next time! Kingfisherswift 10:48, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
The Working Man's Barnstar | ||
Have a barnstar instead - couldn't find one for people who never give up, pick themselves up etc. , so I felt this one would be good Kingfisherswift 10:48, 7 May 2006 (UTC) |

Sig
editI can't remember whether I said this before, and am too tired to look it up, but I think your new sig is awesome! Not sure about the General's new sig though... :p --ConDemTalk 03:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I did too. I liked the old one, but I think people would probably take me more seriously with this. And, of course, everybody thought I was a girl. Which i'm not! ConDemTalk 03:31, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: Pink Floyd
editI noticed your edit using MS Word for the US -> U.S. thing. I just thought I'd point out that UK is the preferred usage, not U.K. I know, they're backwards from one another but that's what the MoS says. Dismas|(talk) 04:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't need more admins
editThat's your opinion, but I personally think we have way too many admins, particularly those that abuse their powers. Ardenn 04:00, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- If I list them all, it'd be too long, and only ArbCom atm can maybe take away an admin priviliges. Ardenn 04:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Re:Renovating
editI think I'm misinterpreting your question (it is late and my brain function has severly lessened :), but aren't you already doing renovations? Sorry for not getting the question. -- Natalya 04:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, I get it. :) Your name is still on the list, I think. I don't see why you can't help - I'm not sure if you can actually add yourself to the renovaters list, but you're welcome to contact anyone looking to have their page renovated and do it! That would be cool (just make sure to take them off the list if you will be renovating). -- Natalya 14:09, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks!
editThanks for voting on my RfA
editThanks so much for voting! Thanks so much for voting on my request for adminship. I have decided to withdraw my nomination as it seems that consensus will not be reached. If you voted in support, thanks for putting your trust in me to be a good admin. If you voted in opposition, thank you as well for your constructive criticism as it will only help me be a better Wikipedian and perhaps help if/when I apply for adminship again sometime in the future.
|
Thanks for voting in my RfA!
editThanks for the vote in my RfA! I don't actually need the admin tools; I'm okay with requesting admins to get the information I need, and asking them to perform tasks which come up with my other responsibilities in the Wikimedia Foundation. It would certainly be easier - and less wasteful of volunteers - if I could do things myself, however. The needs are unrelated to Wikinews, but are related to the Communications Committee. I really appreciated your comments in the RfA, though, and I'm glad you voted. The nomination did not gain consensus, but I'm glad I accepted it. - Amgine 17:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
A few questions...
editHi, MoP. It's me, Evan. I have a few questions for you.
- When adding external links to a page, would it be a bad idea to add the same link more than once (like in the antimony pentafluoride article)? If so, how should I fix it?
- Would it be a bad idea to "steal" code from other userpages and add them to mine?
Thanks!
--Evan Robidoux 00:24, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- (Sorry Mopper for answering a question directed to you <some random smiley>). For the link question, look at WP:EL, and yes, you can steal peoples' code, but usually you should put <!-- Stolen From [[User:Example User]] --> at the top of the page --GeorgeMoney T·C 00:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Restoration
editThank you. IRBs are important, and I worked on that entry last night to try to explain its manifold purpose. Too much of the article was mired in technical detail that failed to give the true sense of what IRBs do, so I greatly appreciate that you brought it back.
- Mom brought be up to thank folks for helping. I will certainly contact you if I need advice in the future. I've enjoyed the bits that I have done already, so being welcomed into the community feels good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TrueConnoisseur (talk • contribs) 00:43, 11 May 2006

editVandalism to userpage
editMoP said: Thanks for reverting my userpage! Strangely enough, I'm seeing a lot of these fake block message things popping up nowadays; hopefully the vandals aren't starting to coordinate attacks O_O
No worries. Have you noticed how horrible these attacks are? Saying, click to leave a new message, and yet piping to a blockip function. Nasty. I'll keep checking for more, they appear to be coming from three or so different IPs. Someone more experienced in blocking than myself will likely know better what to do in terms of the multiple IPs. Bobo. 01:39, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Userpage vandalism
editThanks for reverting my userpage. Interesting that the vandal used a shared IP from the university I go to... :) →Buchanan-Hermit™..SCREAM!!!.... 01:51, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting mine too! --Fang Aili 說嗎? 01:57, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- How do you have that same reverting edit summary every time? Do you just copy & paste into edit summaries? Because if you do that, then it would take a long time to to put [[User:Vandal|Vandal]] ([[User talk:Vandal|talk]]). And, if it takes that long, then someone will have reverted it already. So, what do you do? --GeorgeMoney T·C 01:59, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Image help
editHi MoP, I need some help. This image (currently used in the Ahmedabad article) clicked by me has the date at the bottom right corner. Can you please use your legendary graphic design skills & cover it up? I tried to do it myself but the cover-up was too obvious. I've got a cookie waiting with your name on it if you do!
Thanks

My RFA
editHi MoP,
Thank you for nominating me & strongly supporting my RFA! Even though it did not succeed I want to heartily thank you for your faith in me & my abilities. If it weren't for you guys I probably would have never been confident enough to consider myself for the position. I will look to keep your confidence in me intact for a long time to come.
Cheers

editExcept it is going past the normal width of a page. Do you know one way to fix it?
Again, thanks. --GeorgeMoney T·C 01:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Can I thank you and curse you all in one post?
editWell, thanks to your little recommendation that I try VandalProof...I've just rolled over 2000 edits here on Wikipedia. I am guessing that 75% of them are vandal rv's. VandalProof's a handy tool, but at the same time it can be a little TOO convenient. I am going to have to force myself back into "useful" contribution mode. But at least for now...I've found my niche. My userpage has been hacked several times now. Like I said before...that just lets me know I'm doing something right. Cheers and take care!

Will you join My Picture of the Day? The reason I have it, is so images that aren't Featured quality can still be featured. Anybody can put a picture there. All you have to do is pick a day for your picture, and create a page in "User:GeorgeMoney/Month DayNumber, Year". Then, use the following format: Put You already joined.
{{SUBST:User:GeorgeMoney/potd/template|image=Your image.jpg|width=500px (optional)|description=<an optional description>|size=250px (optional)|user=Your Username}}
on the page of the day you are creating (Remember for all of the optional variables that you don't use, totally remove them from the syntax). Then all you have to do is put {{User:GeorgeMoney/potd}}
on your userpage, and it will automatically make the picture for the day. If you want to have it show your picture forever, put {{User:GeorgeMoney/potd|May 47, 2009}}
. Replace "May 47, 2009" with the day your picture will be on.
Also, can you add your name to My Spamlist? Don't worry, my spam isn't bad and annoying like the Esperanza and Community Justice spam. My spam is just news and events in plain text formatting like this.
